Boat enthusiast will be glad to see the addition of the new MSD Black Marine distributor line. Built off our tried and true billet marine distributors, the 6061-T6 aluminum housing is now hard anodized with a sleek black finish for great looks.The Marine Pro-Billet Distributors have been tested by Underwriter's Laboratory and are certified to meet or exceed safety standards for marine ignition systems as set by the U.S. Coast Guard.Under the black cap you'll find a quality rotor, pickup, reluctor and adjustable weight plate assembly (where applicable). Chevy applications use a .500 Inch QPQ coated distributor shaft joined by a melonized distributor gear while Ford models run a .531 Inch QPQ coated shaft and cast gear. Both ensure smooth operation, superior strength and long life even when challenged by harsh marine applications.Weathertight connectors are used for locked and sealed connectionsUL ApprovedSupplied with a bolt down HEI style distributor cap and rotorO-ring seals can be added to modified blocks to improve oil pressure controlMaintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm rangeNylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weightsDesigned for use in marine applications with Chevy V8 automotive enginesCNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum base with two flame arrestor holes with brass screensSpecial oil tract improves lubrication to the distributor and cam gearBlack anodized for great looks and corrosion resistanceMechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systemsAdvance weight pins are staked and tig welded to the plateWill not accept a vacuum advance canisterPolished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearing and extra long sintered bushingEasy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushingsMust be used with an MSD Ignition ControlAdvance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reductionDetails:Distributor Cap Included: YesDistributor Type: Magnetic PickupEmission Code: 3Gear Material: Cast Iron Melonized QPQ CoatedIgnition Box Required: YesIgnition Coil Included: NoIgnition Rotor Included: YesWarranty: Manufacturer's Limited 1 Year Warranty
